8th day of Park and Rec

It's been a while since I've been to Park and Rec due to how busy I've been with school and family. I arrived feeling welcomed by the kids that I always talk to and the friendly staff. I thought about how I could work better with the staff and kids while I was gone and I was able to do it. I started playing with more kids and tried to offer the staff some help with what they were doing. Such as me helping the staff separate the jewel beads from the regular beads for the kids to play with. The more I talk and play with the kids the more I figure out about their personalities, behavior and more personal feelings. For example, in relation to my paper topic, I talked to one of the kids about the TV shows they watch and video games they play. They said that they've played a lot of Mature rated video games and watch TV shows that aren't suitable for their age. I'm not implying any negative assumptions or bad intentions, because I did the same as the kids did when I was younger. I also looked at their cards which show how they've been behaving lately. Green cards mean "good," yellow cards mean "mutual," and red cards mean "bad." I noticed that the kids that watch and play games that aren't suitable for their age are the kids with red cards and one of them even had a double red card. Although, it's not a very valid thought because there are some kids that watch and play the same video games, but are able to maintain a green card. I'm going to ask my mentor soon if I can have permission to film some of the kids for an interview.
